SSW 19" G5R Bronze/Chrome's ordered, tire help please!

Ahhhh after weeks of looking I finally ordered my rims... They are Speed Star Wheel D5R's in bronze with a chrome lip. 19x8.5 ET 30 in the front w/ 2" lip and 19x10 ET 37 w/ 3" lip in the rear. Question: What would be the most appropriate size for tires, and what's a low-priced brand you would all suggest? Will I have ANY fitment issues with these in this size? My car is an Ivory Pearl so I'm hoping they look hot! Tire Rack had them at $469 a rim, but got the last set in the States on clearance for $239 each. Opinions?

Adam~

Pic: Ordered my rims look on my pic page and let me know what you think! They are from Japan, similar to Volks and Advan.. SUPER lightweight meant for track and indestrubable. They're $469 a rim but I got them on clearance!! 19 x 8.5 inches in the front and 19 x 10 inches in the back (HUGE!). Bronze with a chrome lip. Lip is 2" in the front and 3" in the rear!!! What do you think!?!?!?!

235/35 fronts... 265/35 or 275/35 rears.

I have 19x9.5 fronts with 245/35 and 19x10.5 rears with 275/35 Bridgestone SO-3's.

Nice wheels. Post some pics when you get them mounted.

For tires: 225/40 (OEM) or 245/35 fronts; 275/35 rears.

Any recommendations on an online vendor and brand to use for an affordable price!? How many miles you guys getting on a 19" setup with good tires?
